GoReadyMade August 2018 Meal Subscription Box Review
GoReadyMade is a meal subscription box that sends ready-made meals that can be made in minutes.
When you sign up, you choose between 4, 6, 8, or 10 meals/week. The 4 meal plan is $11.99 per meal, 6 meal plan is $9.99 per meal, 8 meal plan is $8.99 per meal and the 10 meal plan is $7.99 per meal. Everything is already prepared, all you have to do is cook.
This is a sample look at some of the dishes you can choose from each. At the bottom of each picture, you will see microwave and oven icons. Those pictures let you know how long it takes to cook each meal.
The box shipped by FedEx and arrived in a large box.
First Look
The box was insulated so the meals stayed cold.
There were several ice packs included in the box. All the meals arrived ice cold.
There was a canvas bag in the box with a cutting board, spatula, cooler bag, and information guide. The guide gives you details about how to refer friends, rate meals, and select meals. The cooler bag is big enough to hold a whole meal tray.
I received the 10 meal plan for review and was able to select the meals I liked most.
Balsamic Steak with Sweet Potato Mash and Green Beans
Each meal came in a to-go container with a cardboard sleeve over the meal.
The prep is easy with this meal. You pan fry the steak for 10-12 minutes and microwave the sides for 5 minutes.

As you will see from my meal selections, I love balsamic The steak was juicy and just like I like it. The mashed sweet potatoes with the green beans was a great side dish. I chose to put the balsamic on the side, so I could dip the steak in as I wanted.
Chicken and Fig – Balsamic Sauce with Sweet Potatoes
You choose to cook this meal one of two different ways. The steak can be pan-fried for 15 minutes, then microwave the side for 3 minutes. If you would rather, you can cook the entire meal in the oven for 20 minutes.

My husband loved this meal. The chicken wasn't dry or rubbery, and the balsamic really added to the chicken's great flavor. The potatoes were microwaved. but they were perfectly seasoned.
Chicken & Cherry Balsamic Sauce with Potatoes and Broccoli
This meal can be prepared pan frying/microwaved or in an oven. I chose to bake everything in the oven while I cleaned the house.

Okay, so clearly I might have overdone it with the balsamic. My kids loved this meal. I left off the balsamic. Everything was perfectly cooked and it wasn't weird for my kids.
Steak with Mac & Cheese with Cauliflower
There is no way of making this steak other than grilling or pan frying. The macaroni covers the cauliflower, so it's very kid friendly.

I had an event to go to, so my husband and oldest son each at the pork chop dinners. My son didn't put the balsamic on his pork chop, but my husband did. My husband and my son loved this dinner. The veggies were thoroughly cooked and the pork chop was nice and juicy.
Final Thought My family and I loved this subscription. All the meals we selected were fantastic. I enjoy meal subscription boxes, but I really loved this one because it was so easy. Everything was already, cut seasoned and prepared. All I had to do was pan fry, microwave or bake in the oven. This is a great way to get fresh homemade meals, without all the work and without compromising flavor. You can try GoReadyMade $25 off with the code CB7WU.

NO! STOP! I tried this because I’m single. Well, first of all they charged me full price on the first order when they sent me a postcard for 50% off, then they say they will email or text you a reminder so you can decide to change your selections, or to waive the delivery for the coming week, (never received any notice), and when I tried to log back in to contact someone I received a “surprise” package I did NOT want, the website was “having technical difficulties.” I finally got a hold of them and they never addresses my statement about NOT receiving my reminder notification. When I asked what they wanted me to do with package I didn’t order, again the representative ignored my question and never answered my question but were quick to charge my credit card. They finally agreed to cancel my membership but I still received another package the following week. BUYER BEWARE!
